PARADISE — A 25-year-old Paradise man was arrested in connection with multiple elder abuse and burglary charges that the Paradise Police Department alleges are connected with fraudulent debit card use by him and his girlfriend.

Levi Garrett Wadman, 25, was the second arrest made following tips from Paradise SaveMart employees that also led to the arrest of 23-year-old Jenny Gravage.

Both were arrested on numerous charges including elder abuse, burglary, possessing stolen property and narcotics charges.

Wadman was allegedly found with numerous items police say he and Gravage bought with an 84-year-old Butte City man’s bank cards. The two are also suspected to have racked up at least $14,000 in cash back from SaveMart alone.

Police Sgt. Steve Rowe said Thursday morning that other stores and another bank account are involved including transactions at Kmart and the Chico Walmart.

The two suspects have children, 3 and 5, who are now in the care of other family members.

Sitting on the floor of the Paradise Police Department’s investigations office were seized items including a coffee pot, hand and power tools, a telescope, stereos and a toddler’s bed.

Rowe said it will be difficult for the victim to have the charges forgiven because the transactions began around January 2011 and many have already cleared the bank.

“It’s a typical case of elder abuse,” he said of the retired U.S. Navy veteran victimized in the crimes.

The investigation is ongoing, and police believe Sherri Vanlawick, Wadman’s mother, may be involved. She was arrested for violating probation and for driving with false registration.

Gravage was arrested Monday afternoon during a traffic stop Monday for expired registration at Taco Bell in Paradise.

She was booked into Butte County Jail for 47 counts of identity theft, 47 counts of burglary, 47 counts of elder abuse, two counts of possessing stolen property and a single count of possessing a hypodermic needle, according to the Paradise Police Department logs.
